Satellite imagery taken Monday shows smoke from the Camp, Woolsey and Hill fires spreading all the way across the country, as far as Massachusetts.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) image shows smoke choking California’s interior and coast, but a light streak of smoke also stretched across the U.S.

NOAA also shared animated imagery of the wildfire smoke blowing toward the Pacific Ocean on Monday.

NOAA says strong, gusty offshore winds are expected to continue fueling the wildfires.
